Definitions
- This invention relates to transmissions and in particular to so-called Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVTs) in which the operative ratio of the transmission can be varied continuously as opposed to being variable in a series of discrete steps.
- CVTs Continuously Variable Transmissions
- an epicyclic having three compound planets which co-rotate in unison at all times, two planets acting as inputs to the epicyclic and engaging respective sun gears on the input shaft and the third planet acting as the output and engaging a respective sun gear on an output shaft of the epicyclic;
- the output shaft of the epicyclic is preferably connected with a forward/reverse shuttle stage of the transmission in which forward or reverse drive is selected by hydraulically operated forward and reverse drive clutches.
- Further selectively engageable gear trains are also preferably driven from the power shuttle stage of the transmission.
- the continuous variation of ratio extends from a geared neutral condition in which the output shaft from the epicyclic is not rotating up to a ratio of the order of 2.2:1.
- the forward and reverse capability is provided by the shuttle stage and the total range of the overall transmission is extended by the further selectively engageable gear trains.
- the further selectively engageable gear trains provide two ratios high and low.
- a further even lower ratio can be provided if desired and a capability may also be provided to drive a power-take off shaft of the vehicle at a speed proportional to the ground speed of the vehicle.
- the further selectively engageable gear trains may drive a rear axle of the vehicle and a front axle of the vehicle via a front wheel drive clutch.
- the power take-off shaft may also be driven directly from the input shaft via a power take-off clutch.
- the power take-off preferably includes gear trains to drive the power take-off shaft at the industry standard lOOOrpm or 540rpm.
- the continuous variable connection may be a pump/motor circuit, a variable ratio mechanical drive, or a variable ratio electrical generator/motor combination for example.
- the CVT has a high-torque mode of operation in which said two hydraulically operated clutches are simultaneously engaged and the continuously variable drive connection is allowed to rotate freely.
- the input and output shafts rotate in unison. This delivers a highly efficient driveline which is suitable for high torque applications.
- a further advantage of the present invention is the modular nature of the transmission. This allows the CVT transmission described above to be easily converted into a multi-speed power shift transmission. This enables, for example, a tractor manufacturer to be able to provide a CVT and a multi-speed power shift transmission which use a high percentage of common modular parts.
- a method of providing a modular transmission capable of being assembled into alternative drive lines comprising:-
- an epicyclic having three compound planets which co-rotate in unison at all times, two planets acting as inputs to the epicyclic and engaging respective sun gears on the input shaft and the third planet acting as the output and engaging a respective sun gear on an output shaft of the epicyclic, and
- the present invention also provides a transmission module comprising an input shaft, an epicyclic gearing in which a first gear element of the epicyclic is driven mechanically from the input shaft and a second gear element of the epicyclic acts as an output of the transmission module, the epicyclic further comprising a third gear element, wherein the module is selectively configurable between: (a) a continuous variable transmission (CVT) arrangement wherein a continuous variable connection is made between the input shaft and the third gear element to drive the third gear element and hence the output shaft; and,

- Figure 12 shows a different form of epicyclic gear operating as a CVT
- Figure 13 shows the transmission of Figure 12 modified into a powershift unit
- Figure 14 shows yet another different form of epicyclic gear operating as a CVT.
- a power-branched transmission module 10 of a tractor has an input shaft 11 driven from an engine 12.
- the input shaft drives an epicyclic gear 13, a forward/reverse shuttle stage 14 and an further selectively engageable gear train 15 all in series.
- Gear train 15 in turn drives the front and rear wheels 8 and 9 via differentials 8a and 9a respectively.
- the epicyclic gear 13 has three compound planets gears 16, 17, and 18 which rotate in unison at all times and are supported from a common carrier 19. Planets 16 and 17 engage sun gears 20 and 21 respectively which can be coupled with input shaft 11 via clutches C2 and Cl respectively. The third planet gear 18 engages a sun gear 22 mounted on an output shaft 23 of the epicyclic gear which is connected with the shuttle stage 14.
- the pump 25 is mounted on a shaft 240 which is driven by gear 29 mounted thereto.
- the epicyclic gear 13 is designed to provide a continuous variation of ratio from a geared neutral condition in which the output shaft 23 is not rotating up to a ratio of say 2.2 :1 or 2.6:1 as follows.
- the clutch C2 is then engaged which drives sun 20 from the input shaft 11 and carrier 19 is driven by the pump/motor loop 24 from the maximum positive speed of rotation of the carrier to the maximum negative speed of rotation of the carrier. This provides the ratio range of 1 to 2.2.
- the epicyclic forward/reverse shuttle 14 has a sun gear 33 on shaft 23 and a sun gear 37 on the output shaft 36.
- Planet gears 35 and 36 are mounted on a carrier 40 and a reverse idler 34 connects gears 33 and 35.
- Gears 36 and 27 also mesh without the use of an idler.
- Forward drive is engaged by engaging clutch 38 which locks the carrier 40 to the shaft 36.
- Reverse is engaged by engaging clutch 39 which locks the carrier 40 to the transmission housing.
- Shaft 36 drives the further gear train 15 which is configured to give the required overall ratio range of the tractor.
- gears 41, 42, and 43 rotate with a shaft 49.
- Gear 41 meshes with gear 48 on shaft 36 to drive shaft 49 and gears 42 and 43 mesh with gears 44 and 45 and can be coupled to a differential pinion shaft 46 by a sliding coupler 47 (see arrow H) to provide a high gear train to shaft 46 via gears 42 and 44, which is used principally for road work and a low gear train (see arrow M) via gears 43 and 45 which provides maximum tractive force and is used principally for field work.
- Gears 50 and 51 also surround shaft 46.
- Gear 51 can be coupled to shaft 46 (see arrow LL) using sliding coupler 53 to engage an even lower gear train via gears 43, 45, 54, 55, 56, and 51. If sliding coupler 57 is used to couple gear 50 to shaft 46 (see arrow G) the PTO shaft 58 is driven via gear train 50, 59, 60, 61 and 62 at a speed proportional to the ground speed of the tractor.
- Gear 52 on shaft 46 drives the front wheel drive shaft 63 via gear 64 and front wheel drive clutch 65.
- PTO shaft 58 can be driven from the input shaft 11 via a hydraulic clutch 66 and either gear train 67, 68 or 69, 70 using sliding coupler 71.
- Gear train 67, 68 gives a PTO shaft speed of 1000 r.p.m. at a specified engine speed whereas gear train 69, 70 gives a PTO shaft speed of 540 r.p.m. at the specified speed.
- the transmission module 10 comprises a housing 75 which includes a universal end flange 76 at the forward end of the vehicle.
- the module 10 itself is housed within the chassis of a tractor 110.
- Input shaft 11 is supported by a bearing 77 located at one of a plurality of shaft support points 78A, 78B, 78C and 78D, provided by the universal end flange 76 which is bolted to the main housing 75.
- the hydraulic pump/motor loop 24 is mounted on and driven by shaft 240. This component is added to the rest of the module 10 towards the end of the assembly line through an access hatch (not shown) provided in the chassis frame 110.
- the output of the motor 26 drives gear 30 which drives the planet carrier 19.
- Figure 3 shows the four shaft support points 78A, 78B, 78C and 78D on the inside surface of the universal end flange 76 serving to support shafts for gears 27, 28 and 29. From here it can be seen that shaft 240 for the pump/motor loop 24 is driven by input shaft 11 via gears 27, 28 and 29 all supported by the universal end flange 76.
- Gear 27 has a width, or thickness, that is substantially greater, for example twice the thickness, than that of gear 28 for reasons that will become apparent below.
- Gear 120 is meshed with gear 28 and is drivably mounted on shaft 121 which is supported by shaft support 78D.
- An auxiliary hydraulic pump 122 is driven by shaft 121 and is employed to operate auxiliary hydraulic functions of the tractor.
- the universal end flange 76 is selectively configurable to both the CVT and powershift transmission arrangements.
- the mechanical gear loop 80 is mounted on shaft 800 which is driven by gear 82.
- gear 82 meshes with gear 27 and overlaps with gear 28 which remains in place to drive the hydraulic pump 122 (common to both arrangements).
- shaft support 78C is left redundant in this arrangement (Fig. 6).
- gear 27 is a common component in both arrangements wherein a proportion of the thickness thereof is redundant in the CVT arrangement.
- end flange 76 which can accommodate a number of different shaft support configurations, the same component can be employed regardless of the final drive line required, and thereby allows a common assembly process for more parts of the transmission.
- a universal end flange 76 has been used in the embodiments described thus far, it should be appreciated that a flange tailored for the desired arrangement could instead be used without deviating from the scope of the invention. Furthermore, a universal end flange could instead comprise a plurality of shaft support points which are not common to both arrangements.
- Figure 7 shows in tabular form the engagement sequence of the clutches Cl, C2, C3 and C4 which gives the five ratios of the powershift provided by the epicyclic 13 and gear loop 80.
- clutches Cl and C4 are actuated and to engage the second ration clutches Cl and C3 are actuated.
- the third ratio is engaged by actuating clutches Cl and C2 and the fourth ratio is engaged by actuating clutches C2 and C3.
- the fifth ratio is engaged by actuating clutches C2 and C4.
- additional sliding coupler 90 is provided so that shaft 49 can be driven either via gears 91 and 41 or via gears 92 and 42 thus doubling the number of ratios which the further gear train 15 can provide.
- Figure 8 shows a further form of powershift transmission in which the five speed epicyclic unit of Figure 4 is replaced by a seven speed epicyclic unit by the addition of a further mechanical loop 100 extending between the input shaft 11 and the planet carrier 19 which includes an additional clutch C5.
- Figure 9 shows in tabular form the engagement sequence of clutches Cl, C2, C3, C4 and C5 which provides the seven ratios of the epicyclic powershift unit.
- FIG. 10 A still further form of powershift transmission is shown in Figure 10 where a one-way clutch C6 is added between the planet carrier 19 and the output shaft 23. Ih this arrangement when clutch C3 is engaged the output shaft 23 can be driven via gear load 80 by clutch C6 and similarly when clutch C5 is engaged the output shaft can be driven via gear loop 100 by clutch C6 to provide a nine speed epicyclic unit.
- Figure 11 shows in tabular form the engagement sequence of all the clutches Cl to C6 to provide the nine ratios.
- the concept of a modular transmission which can be assembled into alternative drive lines is applicable to other types of epicyclic gears.
- the epicyclic CVT unit 10 of Figure 1 which uses the compound planet gears 16, 17 and 18 can be replaced with a CVT in the form of a sun, planet and annulus gear as shown in Figure 12 in which planet gears 200 are carried on a carrier 201 which is driven from input shaft 11.
- Planets 200 mesh with a sun gear 202 which drives output shaft 23 and also mesh with an annulus gear 203 which is driven from motor 26 via gear 204.
- the CVT arrangement shown in Figure 12 can be converted to the powershift arrangement shown in Figure 13 by replacing the pump and motor loop 24 by the gear loop 300 which includes a clutch C7 which when engaged drive annulus gear 203 to provide a first ratio and a clutch C8 which when alternatively engaged holds the annulus gear 23 stationary to provide a second ratio.
- the remainder of the transmission is described in relation to Figure 1.
- a further alternative epicyclic gearing arrangement is shown for a CVT.
- the transmission comprises two hydraulically operated clutches Cl C2 which are alternatively engageable to drive input planets 416, 417 via their respective sun 420, 421 from the input shaft 11.
- the output shaft 23 is drivably connected to the planet carrier 419.
- the CVT of Figure 14 can be converted to a powershift arrangement by replacing the pump and motor loop 24 by a suitable gear loop.
- the modular transmission described above allows a tractor manufacturer to provide to his customers with either a CVT as shown, for example, in Figure 1, or a five speed powershift transmission as shown in Figure 4, or seven speed powershift as shown in Figure 8, or a nine speed powershift as shown in Figure 10 which have a high percentage of common components.
- the epicyclic CVT of Figure 12 can be modified into the powershift transmission for Figure 13.
- the transmission when configured as a CVT it is possible to provide a high torque mode of operation wherein the continuously variable connection is locked out so that shafts 11 and 23 rotate in unison.
- a mode provides a highly efficient driveline which is particularly suitable for high torque applications such as ploughing.
- the continuously variable connection can be allowed to rotate freely by a number of methods.
- an open bypass valve can be provided. This serves to open the hydraulic connection between the pressure lines connecting the pump 25 and motor 26.
- the motor in the case of a closed loop control system controlling the speed of the hydraulic motor 26, the motor can be made to rotate with the same speed as the locked epicyclic. This results in no power being driven through the hydraulic variator circuit 24. If the pump/motor loop 24 is torque controlled, the control request can be set to zero which results in no load on the shaft 240.
- a tractor manufacturer can assemble a transmission module as described and stockpile a quantity of them as desired before configuring each of the modules one-by-one into either a CVT arrangement or a powershift transmission arrangement.
- this reduces the time between a customer placing an order for a tractor with a desired transmission and delivery of that tractor.
